One of the diamonds in the BMW crown. The new BMW 7 Series is the first to introduce the iDrive system, which consists of a color video display in the instrument panel and a controller similar to a computer mouse that controls a range of settings: the eight-menu system can be used to control climate control, audio, navigation, suspension and more. However, the system has been criticized for its very complex navigation and for being too intuitive. Shortly afterwards, the system was copied by Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and today any self-respecting manufacturer has installed a similar system in higher-end cars. The first E65s were full of problems, the vast majority of which were software-related. The E65 / E66 is the only BMW to be produced with the most powerful 6.0-liter V12 petrol and 4.4-liter V8 turbodiesel engines. In general, the BMW 7 Series is, as always, highly valued - its Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Audi A8 stand out from their competitors with their excellent sporty handling, original interior design and extremely powerful engines. Disadvantages - mentioned complex iDrive, some other minor glitches.

This is the first piece by ambiguous chief designer Chris Bangle while working at BMW. The style of this developer is especially noticeable in the rear of the car. Indeed, the design for this 7 Series was created by Adrian van Hooydonk (along with Chris Bangle), and in his original sketches, the rear of the car was much more radical, reminiscent of an elongated hatchback.
 
An impressive version of the BMW Alpina B7 was produced with a "small" 4.4-liter V8 engine that developed 500 hp and 700 Nm of torque. Although the performance is not particularly impressive, the car is able to beat such impressive competitors as the Audi A8L W12 quattro, Audi S8 5.2 FSI quattro, Audi R8 (!), Bentley Flying Spur, Jaguar XJ Super V8 and in just 0.2 seconds (accelerating up to 97 km). / h) lags behind the 510 hp V-12 Mercedes S600 with two turbines. Only 800 such7 Alpina were produced.
